Now - who is gonna be the first person to guess WHY we specifically chose this type of donut (hint, not just standard donut)?

We are feeling good about ourselves as the micro iDSD just made it to Japan and will depart for Germany. More will become evident soon.

Vince was chatting away to Thorsten, explaining how hilarious some of the name ideas for the new Attenuator are. Thorsten was supposed to be busy testing an industrial hole punch they've been working on (New sideline IFI are moving into. It's called the I-hole) As Thorsten was distracted by the hilarious conversation he roared with laughter slipped on a banana skin that just happened to be on the floor, fell onto the I-hole, which just happened to be next to the prototype and accidentally stuck a whopping great big hole in it, hence the picture of the donut with a hole in the middle.

Oooooooh. Really warm. There are actually several different angles rather than just 1. So it wouldnt be too specific for you guys to have to nail.

Okay, a bit more for you...

We'll keep it a coming.

Ok then, your standard donut has one hole and is delicious, those donuts have the same one hole but many other options, like sprinkles, icing, different colours. Similarly the idsd micro has standard outputs (holes) but they themselves have different options, X-bass, 3d, digital filters as well as the ability to morph from outputs to inputs!

Btw -I love the combo coax in/out and optical in port, that was one of my suggestions on my wishlist,

"The world premier of" top wing was (company) Portable DAC of British iFI-Audio a "micro iDSD". The DAC that is equipped with two a customized chip of Burr-Brown, for a wide range of hi-res file, the official announcement from the British iFI has not yet been done, but, PCM system to 384kHz/32bit you check the back of the product, and there is a description of DSD 256 (12.4MHz). By a built-in battery of 3200mAh further, "about twice the nano iDSD Do not be driven"

new DAC of iFI-Audio "micro iDSD"

micro iDSD

iFI-Audio was the world premiere at the festival headphone DAC built a prototype portable headphone amplifier "micro iDSD". We are targeting the launch of the summer, price is undecided, "Do not go until Odai (100,000 yen)" It's expected.

In addition to operating as a USB DAC, it has a coaxial digital input / output terminals, can be connected to the portable player with a digital output. With one system standard terminal, headphone output is also available analog audio output of the RCA. I have a built-in battery of 3,000 mAh so portable amplifier.

DSD support 2.8MHz (DSD64) / 5.6MHz the (DSD128). Sing the officially supported at this time it's up to 5.6MHz, except that there is also a character shows the DSD 11.2MHz corresponding "DSD256" on the back, tried by preparing a 11.2MHz DSD file actually in this exhibition, reproduction that could be. But DSD256 little support, micro iDSD portables even seem capable of processing in hardware but also in the stationary machine.

listen of micro iDSD also possible, and has been popular with visitors.

I thought the micro was going to be around USD $500...maybe with some of the new additions the price had to increase a bit...but $1000 would be quite a jump up.

ouch. true. at least based on the 100k yen stated above. That's gonna hurt wallets. Wondering what will the mini cost then? Vincent, can you comment on the pricing - a ballpark figure would be nice to know so we can start breaking piggy banks ;)
